We wanted to thank a number of people and if we have missed anyone out we apologise in advance. Big thanks go out to Lisa smith, Lisa Mccarthy, Nic beacham, Susan legge, Debbie Jacob, Bev lavender, Gen Mitchell, Jane at the queens for all the raffle prizes, Tesco express, Asda and Tony’s premier for donating raffle prizes. The queens for hosting the Sing-A-Long. Simon and Kayleigh for helping loads and taking orders from me!! Clare baker for helping.

We had a great evening and raised £200 for Cancer Research Wales on the night. We didn’t have chance to take many pics but we have included the 2 we took. This is not including any amount raised by the Signed Joe Calzaghe Gloves donated by Ron Davies which are currently being auctioned off.

The auction is running until 6:30pm on the 3rd January 2016 help us raise as much money for Cancer Research Wales by sharing the auction.

Once again a big Thank you too all and hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Mission Completed

Good Morning all

Those of you that follow the facebook page would have no doubt already read that Simon completed the Skydive on Saturday and yes he was an #englishmaninawelshtop (thanks for the hashtag Kayleigh) . Below I have included the picture of the facebook status that Wendy had posted to Thank Everyone for the very kind efforts and donations including those from the companies that also donated items for the raffle prizes.

As soon as we have a total raised then we will update all via the website as well as Facebook. Just to let everyone know that Pictures from the Skydive are both on the facebook page and also on the website on the updated Completed Charity Sky Dive Page. Feel free to have a look through comments most welcome 🙂

As Wendy has stated in the status What shall we do next? have any idea’s contact us direct on the Contact Us page or via facebook with any idea’s .

I have to say even though i missed the actual Skydive it has been great to be able to help with this side of it and long may it continue on to the next event.

Hello all

I would just like to say what a massive pleasure it was when i messaged Wendy & Simon to see if it would be ok for me to add details of the Charity Sky Dive to my new Website. Having a bit of spare room i wanted to try and put it to some good so added 2 details of charities that i like to support that friends have a lot to do with. After talking with Wendy and Simon i realised that the old group called the “Les Lavender Cancer Crusade” which i remember joining a number of years ago on Facebook was empty all bar Wendy & Lisa (the 2 admins for the group).

After Wendy had mentioned that it was hard to get the word out about fundraising events now with the Kingfisher being shut, I wanted to help in more ways, So i mentioned about a Facebook Page which was set up and is collecting followers at a steady pace. But I wanted to do something else, a place where they could up date and spread word not just through Facebook, somewhere that could be updated with different items and media for future fundraising but also to remember everything that has already been done. So that is when this website was born expect a bit of editing over the coming days as most has been done by me as a surprise for Wendy & Simon.

So any incorrect data or details please blame me but it will be corrected if there is anything 🙂

Last thing that i would like to say is a massive Good Luck to Simon for the Sky Dive and for all future fundraising events that you and the community hold I hope you get all the support and help that you deserve.

Cheers

Chris
